10. RISK OF FIRE

    R/2015/197 · 26 Oct 2015

    26 Oct 2015

    Defect

    There is a possibility that the bolted connection of the battery cable where it passes through the bulkhead may be loose on a small number of vehicles. In most instances the customer is unable to start the engine. However in very rare cases if the battery is significantly discharged and the vehicle is being operated under increased electrical load a loose electrical connection can overheat whilst the vehicle is in use. If the above circumstances occur in very rare cases there could be a fire.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the original nut with a prevailing torque nut and tightened to the correct torque.

11. POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE

    R/2013/110 · 21 Oct 2013

    21 Oct 2013

    Defect

    Only on the rear axle of vehicles fitted with carbon ceramic brakes the stainless steel screws fixing the rotor to the metal bell may fail due to stress corrosion cracking if the vehicle has been used in extreme salt environments. The customer will experience a noise when a screw fails and the brake continues to be 100% effective. However if the affected disc was to lose 8 of the 10 screws there would be a loss of braking at that rear wheel. This may lead to a small increase in stopping distance and could lead to a crash.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the affected stainless steel screws with a screw of a different material that is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

12. FUEL MAY LEAK

    R/2008/080 · 14 May 2008

    14 May 2008

    Defect

    There is potential for road salt to corrode the outer surface of the fuel filter. In an extreme case this may lead to the filter housing becoming porous with a corresponding fuel leak which has the potential for combustion.

    Remedy

    Recall the affected vehicles to have the fuel filter replaced by the later designed corrosion-resistant coated filter and move the retaining clip.

13. POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY

    R/2006/155 · 22 Aug 2006

    22 Aug 2006

    Defect

    It has been identified that the potential exists for a foul condition to occur between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip. A situation which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe and an increase in stopping distance under braking. Additionally there is a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.

    Remedy

    Recalled vehicles will be inspected and the clearance between the brake pipe and hose clip checked. If the clearance is to tolerance and no damage exists no further action will be required. Should the clearance be below the required standard remedial action will be taken as appropriate.
